The parvocellular pathway from lateral geniculate nucleus to visual coex is most sensitive for the stimulus of

A
Color contrast
B
Luminance contrast
C
Temporal frequency
D
Saccadic eye movements
High-Yield Explanation
From the lateral geniculate nucleus, a magnocellular pathway and a parvocellular pathway project to the visual coex. The parvocellular pathway, from layers 3-6, carries signals for color vision, texture, shape, and fine detail. The parvocellular pathway also carries color opponent data to the deep pa of layer 4.Ref: Ganong's Review of Medical Physiology, Twenty-Third Edition
